Applicaiion fiied l i'arch 17, 1313. I Serial No. 754,765.

Jo all whom it may 601266772 .JPBELL, :i citizen ()1 the Unified States of Aiiierioa, residing at the city of St. Louis, State oflllissouri, have invented a certain new and useful Angle-Cool; Holder; of which the following is such a. full, cleai, and exact description as will enable any one skilled in the art to which it appert-iiins to go make and usetlie 83313.6,16fk16 so being had to the accompanying" drawings, forming par; of tlllSa PEClfiCiltlOll.

., sly inveniiion relates to an angle, cock llOlLlCl and has its ob ect the production 15 which, wh. 2c

of an angle cock holder Will not only hold the angle in construction,

cock against both rotation and. icrwari'l llloffillllfllibut, at the same time, .2":

is side elevation showing the preform; a section on the line 1 "T 'ig. 1; 3 a section on the line Fig. l, the angle cock and. train pipe omitted; F a; and 5 are front and ws respectively showing a slight -Jilillcsion;.ancl Figs. 6 and 7 are views .llill to Figs. 4 and 5, bus showing :1 still 'ihei' modification. Like marks of reference refer to similar ports in the several-views of the drawings.

10 represents the end sill of the car, 11 mm UK Tl pipe, and 123 the angle cook. he

iiiiglo cool: 12 provided with the usual "ii' sonal liczul Secured to the enil sill means of bolts l and nuts 15 is an oil lafc 15. The horizontal portion plate 16 is adapted to bear upon the ace of the head 13 the angle cock. lii tlz rms shown in l to 5 incluilnce'l'c is pi'oviiled with a down extending flange 1'? which is adaptto cngagc with the front face of ilic ok head and thus prevent the angle mam forward motion.

*l'io form or" my dovice shown in Figs. {o 25, :1 loop 18 surrounds the twin pipe 11 l iins thresilezl if pi ojecting osqli openings in. the horizontal portion l :1 piste 11?. These hrcn'lccl coils 19 are by nuts Y illii loop angular 1 wliicli known that I, STERLING llonsns simple tlisee sielesof the angle cock head 13, as best shown in Fig. 2. The housing 21 is proiclecl with s flange 22 adapted to engage with; the frontfece of she angle cock lie-ad 13in order to prevent the forward rnovoment of the zingle'cock. This flange 22 is provided with a. recess 23 adjacent to the point where the angle cock head joins the body. Ellie object of this recess 23 is to allow the proper seating of the angle cock head in the housing in case'tliere is an excess of metal at this part of the angle cock as is often ii -e case. i

In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the angular housing 21 is omitted, the loop 18 being, in lliis case, formed of asimple rod of metal, the flange 17 on the plate 1%?- bcing clepcnclecl upon to prevent the lfitirzw l in Yemeni: cf. angle cock.

1c mod]; tic-n slur ii in Figs. 6 and T is like no W21 in l to 3 that tho flange l? is omitted from plate 16.

The operation of my device will be evi- (lent. In order to seem-e the angle cock and train pipe in. position, it is only necessary pass the ends 19 of the loop 18 through the openings in the plate 16 and tighten the nuts 20.

The holder, while simple in construction, not only prevents the forward movement and rotation of the angle cock, but, at the some time, firmly clamps the train pipe in position.

Having fully described my list I claim as new and clesii'e Letters-Patent of the Unite rl To an angle cool: holder, to retaining mcmlimadapted to be carried by the car, suicl "retaining incmliezbeing provided with a flat bearing surface, and a loop carried by said retaining member and adapted to sur- I'OlilUl the train pipe for holding ll. flat surla'cc of the angle cock head against the ilgit homing surface of Lhe retaining member.

2. In an angle cock holder, :urctninin :nemliei' :lillli'ltdd to be carried l fO'SGCIH'E States is:

iciniiiii ig ll infili tl'ic trans p the angle com sm'iucc of l adapted to surioimil a flat surlzicc of r. I curing invention,

tion with an angle plate adapted'to be secured to the end of a car and forming a. re ta-ining member, of an angle cock having with a flange to prevent-forward movement of the angle cock.

4. In an angle cock holder, the combina tion with an angle plate adapted to be secured to'the end of a car and forming a re-'' twining member, of an angle cock having one face of its head bearing against said retaining men'iber, and aloop surroi'inding the train pipe ad acent to the angle cock and.

,having its ends pro ecting through said re tainiug member, said loo} and retaining member cooperating to form a clamping de-' vice, said retaining member being provided. with a flange to prevent forward movement of the angle cock. 5. In an angle cock holder, the combination withan angle plate adapted to be se-- cured to the-end of a car and forming a retaining member, of an angle cock having one face of its head bearing aga1n tsa1d retaining member, and a loop surrounding the train pipe adjacent to the angle cock and having its ends projecting through said retaining' member, -said loop and. retaining member cooperating to form a. clamping de-.

vice, bOtl l of said parts being provided with. flanges to prevent the forward movement of,

the angle cock.

'6 The combination with a train pipe, of w an angle cock on said t 'a'i'n p1pe,an angular member carried by the. ear, and a vertically disposed U-bolt carried by: said angular in close contact with said angular member.

In testimony whereof; I have hereunto set my h and and afli'Xed my seal in the presence af-the twosnbscribing witnesses.
